Thank you everyone who commented or emailed me regarding yesterday's search for Amy Butler's Coriander fabric in Pink (Sunday Stash #30). I now have several swaps happening and was also able to make some online purchases which will keep me well stocked of this fabric for some time to come! Thanks again!

I will be doing a post office run today to send off this baby quilt to its new owners!

The quilt measures 35 inches x 65 inches, and has been quilted with straight vertical lines. The back of the quilt also features some piecing.

This quilt is off to Wes and Layla who are in the process of adopting a baby boy from Ethiopia. Which makes this quilt rather special, and I know it will be much loved. You can read more of Wes and Layla's adoption journey here.

Binding

I receive many queries regarding binding, and especially machine stitching the binding, and have therefore prepared a tutorial or at least some tips on how to I like to attach the binding by machine for all of my quilts. It will be posted tomorrow.

Another wonderful quilt and this one with a story to go with it. I remain constantly amazed at your output. I spent most of yesterday attaching and blind stitching a quilt and still didn't finish it! Where do you find the time???

Can't wait to hear your advice on binding - I can't help thinking that machine stitched binding is so much stronger than hand stitched. Especially when you are making quilts for children and every day use.
